I really enjoy this but I think costs need to be rebalanced. There was so much extra gold in the game that I think the problem didn't show up much but I know personally I am having trouble building my city. I run out of gold to start projects and have to farm for quite a while sometimes before I can start the next project which feels like a huge waste of resources.

Even after a friend gave me 500k, I have run out again. I made some bad choices thinking I would earn faster as I leveled so I probably shouldn't have bought some of the expensive sides but I still think early/mid city building costs should be reviewed and brought more in line with what can be reasonably earned. Basically it just feels really wasteful to be running missions without having a increased production project running. Being close and having to run a couple missions to make up the gold wouldn't bother me but sometimes it seems the gaps are huge.
